Discussions will focus on novels by writers from the Holy Land (Muslims, Christians, Jews, and atheists). How do these writers see themselves and other parties of the conflict? How do these writers perceive “resolving” Palestine/Israel conflict? What do these writers dream of for their generation and beyond? Do we, concerned Americans, see that part of the world in ways similar or different from the ways those writers see it? Why do we agree or disagree with these writers? Participants in this course will understand Palestine/Israel conflict through the eyes of novelists from Palestine/Israel.

This study group for those 50 and over will be led by instructor Adnan Salhi for two hours on Thursdays: February 15, March 29, and April 26.
